ingredients

¹⁄₂ cup walnuts
2 tablespoons whole flax seeds
2 tablespoons unsweetened flaked coconut
1 cup raw gluten-free oats
¹⁄₂ cup dates, packed
¹⁄₂ cup raisins
4 tablespoons cocoa powder, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon agave nectar (maybe a bit more)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch salt
Optional
mini chocolate chip, to taste (I use about 1/4-1/3 c.)

directions

Combine walnuts, flaxseeds, coconut, and oats in the bowl of a food processor. Process until uniformly combined.
Add dates, raisins, cocoa powder, agave, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are blended and hold together when squeezed (you may need to add a bit more agave).
Remove mixture from food processor and stir in chips.
Measure out mixture using a candy scoop (like a small ice cream scoop) or a tablespoon. Mold/roll mixture into a ball.
Roll candy in cocoa powder or a mixture of cocoa powder and powdered sugar (some people find straight cocoa powder to bitter).
